For many food, retail and export packages, POF is now the cleaner and more flexible PVC alternative.
| Factor | POF shrink film | PVC shrink film |
|---|---|---|
| Material feel | Soft, flexible, less brittle | Can be stiffer and more brittle |
| Food packaging | Commonly used with FDA-compliant grades | More restrictions depending on market |
| Odor during sealing | Lower odor | Can release stronger smell |
| Cold resistance | Good performance for many cold-chain packs | Can become brittle in low temperature |
| Applications | Food, beverage, cosmetics, books, daily-use goods | Some retail packaging and non-food uses |
Send your current PVC thickness, product size, machine model and required package appearance. GS PACK can recommend a POF grade for testing.
